a friend loaned me a simple press, two rollers, a composite plate that will take a A3 paper. It took some time to get the tension right, the blankets have a very bad habit of moving and have to be reset every few prints. Struggling with new ink and a thinner acrylic sheet ( I almost scribed through the acrylic), I found a underwiped plate looked right for my first attempt

some elemental mistakes, I drew on the opaque backing of the sheet, but missed a couple of lines, reinking part of the plate of course gave me a very uneven print in the ghost copy

I found a guide sheet with gridded lines made printing much easier to place print and paper on the plate. I used baby oil to clean the plate and I learnt that one should never attempt to clean oil based ink with baby oil in a white tiled bathroom, cleaning up took up more the half the printing time!
